I'm sure Richards and Stark rationalize them as being powerful beings, but not as being "gods" in the capital "G" sense of the word.

Yep, which is cool, I think comics exploring the ramifications of Gods (and not Christian Gods) being real in a realistic way is too problematic and would change the Marvel Universe too much from our own.

Because really, at this point in the Marvel Universe, there should be no Christianity or Islam or Judaism, everyone should worship either the Norse or Ancient Greek Gods.
